REPORTING Scotland has been branded an "embarrassment" over its coverage of the Supreme Court ruling.
The opening story of the lunchtime news bulletin was, of course, Boris Johnson's decision to prorogue Parliament being ruled unlawful.
Presenter Sally McNair began: "Good afternoon. The First Minister, Prime Mi… Nicola Sturgeon has joined calls for the Prime Minister to resign after the Supreme Court ruled that he had acted unlawfully when he suspended Parliament."
We can forgive the mix-up here. With Boris Johnson acting the way he is, it's easy to forget he's meant to be the Prime Minister.

"Our chief political correspondent Glenn Campbell is outside the Supreme Court for us this lunchtime," McNair continued. "Glenn, what an astonishing turn of events."
The camera was on him but, unfortunately, Glenn couldn't hear anyone in his ear.
The presenter kept trying: "Glenn. Glenn Campbell. Are you hearing me Glenn Campbell? Glen Campbell outside the Supreme Court."
The camera then lingered on him for another 15 seconds before a cut. Between that point and "an astonishing turn of events", it totalled 28 seconds.
An SNP insider said: “What an embarrassment Reporting Scotland is.
“Technical glitches happen – but they happen to some news programmes more often than others.
“And to leave Glenn Campbell hanging like that for 28 seconds, without the studio having a fall-back package, at the start of the bulletin on such a momentous story was not a good look.”
The technical hitches were eventually fixed, with the show returning to Campbell later in the 10-minute bulletin.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
